Relatable, my mom got a cancer diagnosis from an automated message through her healthcare portal. Their offices were closed and she wasn't able to ask any questions about it until the next day. She just knew she had some type of breast cancer, but nothing else, for that whole time. Only other time I've seen her cry that hard is when her dad died.

My aunt got informed she had cancer by a nurse calling the wrong number and leaving her a message.

Then she found out when she almost died.

Then she won the largest possibly allowed monetary recompense in West Virginia against the medical facility.
